Walk the talk Receiving commendation from a client is a powerful affirmation that we truly walk the talk. It signifies that our words are not mere promises but are backed by consistent, high-quality actions. Such recognition is not just a testament to our hard work but also to our unwavering commitment to integrity and excellence. When clients commend us, it reflects that we have successfully bridged the gap between what we pledge and what we deliver, creating a strong foundation of trust and credibility. This not only boosts our morale but also sets a compelling example for our team, reinforcing the importance of aligning our actions with our values to achieve outstanding results It embodies the essence of integrity, transforming words into actions that inspire others to follow. It's a powerful reminder that true leadership is rooted in consistency and authenticity, showing that we stand by our commitments. When we align our deeds with our promises, we build trust and credibility that can move mountains. This practice not only strengthens our character but also sets a compelling example for those around us, fostering a culture of accountability and excellence. In a world filled with empty rhetoric, walking the talk becomes a beacon of hope, demonstrating that real change starts with us. Our actions speak louder than words, and when they are in harmony with our principles, they resonate deeply with others. This alignment between what we say and what we do creates a ripple effect, encouraging others to strive for the same integrity. It's about being the change we wish to see, showing that even the smallest actions can have a significant impact. Walking the talk is not always easy, but it is always worth it, as it builds a foundation of trust that can withstand any challenge. Ultimately, it’s through our actions that we inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more. Thank you Anchor Network Solutions, Inc. Brian French and the whole team for this meaningful commendation. Thank you DOXA Talent, Lauren Hoover for perfectly matching me to a wonderful and supportive client. #DOXATalent #DOXAAmbassador #BrandAmbassador #Commendation #EthicalOutsourcing #WalkTheTalk #Motivation #CareerGrowth

Leaders and game-changers, allow me to share a powerful reminder to kickstart our working week from the remarkable Audrey Hepburn- 'Nothing is impossible; the word itself says 'I'm possible.' • Hailed as a powerhouse of grace, optimism, and femininity, Hepburn teaches us to rethink the impossible. To turn constraints into canvases, roadblocks into routes. 💫 • Remember, success isn't just about being part of the 'International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame' but about the legacy and influence we leave behind. It's our mission to redefine the 'impossible' into the 'I'm-possible.' • FewBreak those shackles of doubt today. Start that project. Secure that deal. Implement that strategy. 🎯 • But most importantly, believe in yourself and in the beauty of your dreams. Echoing Hepburn, let's carry forward this momentum and sparkling optimism into our businesses and ventures, to inspire and accomplish. Who's with me on this exhilarating journey to transmute the impossible into possible? Drop some 🔥 If you're ready to shake things up this week! As our businesses continue to evolve and grow, it's our constant belief in the power of possibility that will inevitably propel this forward-motion. Here's to making the impossible possible! 👊 #Business #Motivation #MakeItPossible

I paused after reading this, the 3rd entry from Jeff Pope's “Ten Things I Think I’ve Learned.” I personally have spent most of my Insights career at large companies, and of course I started small (Jeff and Judy’s CRI). To me the leadership and culture—direct and at the top levels—is more important than the size of the company. I love the global reach, R&D power, breadth of offers, etc. that I find at large company Ipsos. But I see Jeff’s point, and am interested in how others see the topic. ************************* For me, it’s been easier to find what I wanted in small companies. I’ve worked for two of the largest organizations in the world (KPMG Peat Marwick and Pillsbury) and two small firms (CRI and Elrick & Lavidge, my first job). Experience in the big companies was valuable, but it wasn’t where I wanted to invest my life. I like life in a small company where you can… * Know everyone’s name * Understand the whole business * Know and see how your contribution makes a difference And working with large, well known clients give us the best of both worlds: we have impact on highly visible products and services, but we get to work within a small company environment.

The three most important things you need to measure in a business. I found this interview with Jack Welch to be very insightful. Named "Manager of the Century" by Fortune magazine in 1999, Jack Welch transformed GE into a global conglomerate during his two decades as chief executive. He was considered one of the most influential men in the global business community. There is so much to learn and unlock from this. This is a weekend tonic for you. Share it with others who need to see it. Adios #businesssuccess #clientsatisfaction #employeeengagement

📈 Revenue growth says more about a business than black tie awards If you chose me as your next CFO…. 🎯 It's not just about spreadsheets and financial numbers; it's about unlocking the potential of your entire organization to FIND NEW CUSTOMERS and cultivate effective MARKETING STRATEGIES. 🖇 I would be digging for the broken link between the story and the numbers and then work with the leadership team to solve. 🤝 Embracing a collaborative approach, I would be working closely with your sales team closely to understand the CONSULTATIVE process that puts customers first, understanding their needs and understand the customer value equation. 💡 I thrive in a culture of INNOVATION that enables PRODUCT AND DEVELOPMENT TEAMS to deliver solutions that excite the market and captivate the customers and not build technical debt. 🏆 While awards may come, my focus is on the long-term success, and that means aligning the entire organization, breaking down silos, and creating a culture of cross-functional COLLABORATION. 🚀💨 The journey to revenue growth is not a sprint; it's a transformational race. I'm laser-focused on embracing change for good, improving processes, optimizing efficiencies to maximise return on investment. If you are doing all these things already and winning awards but your growth on the speedometer is closer to 5 than 70 then something must be going wrong. Perhaps those silos still exist, or you have become part of a saturated market. May be change is required? -------------------- ⏩ My call to action is simple – let's put the black tie away for now and get to work! As your CFO, I would champion the human element, breaking silos, fostering collaboration, and driving us towards the improved revenue growth (can’t promise Blackbird speeds though!) #CFOPerspective #CollaborativeJourney #RevenueGrowthMatters #TransformationalSuccess #TogetherWeAchieve -------------------- Each comment (> 12 words) 👇is a conversation; an extra “post” for you.

A huge thank you to our incredible panel for sharing their experiences with us in our Winter Meetup Panel Discussion - "Lessons form the Floor and Navigating Career Success." Here are some highlights 👇 ⭐️ Pattie Grimm (She/Her) - "There is a saying, If there's not a seat at the table, bring a folding chair. I say bring another table and a dozen chairs! It's about bringing others with you." ⭐️ Alyx Gregory - "Surround yourself with people that inspire you and work closely with them and on those relationships." ⭐️ Eva Rio - "I changed my mindset. I asked myself, why do I have to prove anything to anyone? Now I feel more comfortable." ⭐️ Theresa Necker - "We are now going through a huge transformation in the automotive industry that brings new roles we haven't had in the past. But it's not just about new technologies. It's about building new cultures." #WomenAutomotiveNetwork #WinterMeetup #AutomotiveIndustry

How does GM look in the New Work era? We've already given a lot of thought to this topic. We’ve also had some fascinating chats with our members and partners about GM in the New Work era. It’s given us a new perspective on international and cross-border work. And it’s made us even more curious about the future of our industry. We don’t assume the journey will be easy, but we’re excited to help lead the way. The next stage takes us to Jay Suites on New York's Wall Street, where Becky Woods, Senior Director of GM, joins us to co-host the day and add her unique view of GM in the New Work era. Then we're at Schneider Electric on Boston's Washington Street with a different guest host and a whole new perspective. You’re invited to join us and our expert panel to investigate how GM might look for North America in the New Work era. You'll hear from Jessica Drucker, who'll sketch out the ever-changing face of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in an increasingly dispersed world. Chris Hall, Managing Partner of GTN will dig into increasingly complex compliance in international work. And Stephen Homsey, SilverDoor's Regional Head of the Americas, will talk about the pressures on accommodation and housing. You’ll also hear Liz Portalla of Sterling Lexicon expand upon their Nuances of North America piece from our recent research paper on GM in North America.
